J. C. FONNESBECK.

    J. C. Fonnesbeck is one of the owners of the Fonnesbeck Knitting Mill at
Logan and also of a retail store. He thus figures prominently in connection with
the commercial and manufacturing interests of the city and in all that he
undertakes is actuated by a spirit of enterprise that produces most desired
results. He was born in Denmark in 1873, a son of M. J. and Laurentine
Fonnesbeck, who in the year 1892 arrived in Utah. They had become converts to
the faith of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and crossing the
Atlantic, they took up their abode in this state, removing in 1900 to the Cache
valley. Here the father and his sons established the Fonnesbeck Knitting Mill
and in addition thereto opened a retail store for the handling of the goods
which they make.

    J. C. Fonnesbeck was reared in his native country and pursued his education
in the public schools of Denmark. He had attained the age of nineteen years when
the family emigrated to the new world and through the intervening period he has
lived in Utah. His business training was received under his father's direction
and he has been actively identified with his father and brothers in the conduct
of the Fonnesbeck Knitting Mill since its establishment. They manufacture all
kinds of knit goods and their business is now a very substantial and important
one. They employ several people in the factory and on the road and the
enterprise has become one of the leading productive industries of Logan. They
also maintain a retail store for the sale of their goods in Logan and their
trade has reached gratifying proportions.

    In 1904 Mr. Fonnesbeck was married to Miss Anna Andersen, a daughter of Emil
and Ann C. Andersen. They have become the parents of five children: Marinus,
Alice, Frank, Francis and Elaine. Mr. Fonnesbeck is a supporter of the
democratic party and his family are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints. He is well known in the Cache valley, where he has lived for
the past nineteen years. His spirit of enterprise and progressiveness has firmly
established him among the representative business, men of the district and his
labors have found culmination in the development of one of the important
manufacturing concerns of the Cache valley.
